[reef mountain]

Kenshi will forever be the game with the most exploits; yes, even more than any elder scrolls game including Oblivion/Oblivion Remastered. Here's a good one: don't want enemies invading your base? Just build the front gate in water (or preferably acid) and when they arrive they won't be able to attack it because you can't attack in water. Walls are indestructible as long as you have at least one gate.

If I listed every exploit in Kenshi, it'd be an essay and probably get flagged as spam lol

And if the water is acid, the enemies will just sit there and slowly die if they're not immune to acid (if you only play as races that are immune to acid, like skeletons and hivers, then it won't affect you).

In my case, my entire squad is immune to acid so we can just swim in and out with no issues.

[inland oasis]

Kenshi is a game (I’ve never played it) and yet even I know, it just says “have at it” and doesn’t even wish you good luck.

[ripe portal]

Kenshi is an amazing game though for what it is

Extremely unforgiving.

Aziz Ansari is a pretty famous comedian.

[icy anchor]

I’m not on a lot of the internet-

[dry copper]

ah

Hope you enjoy that rabbit hole, then.

Aziz Ansari has a colorful stand up routine that explores a lot of social landmines he's had to deal with as an American Indian.

[icy anchor]

I stick to watching the vanoss crew, grizzy and puffer etc, group chat, call me Carson and Brandon Farris. Not the type of person to watch movies or comedians unless clips come up on insta :P I’ll definitely take a look tho

I’ve been meaning to watch the second maze runner with my bf for the past 3 months- I can never get myself to watch movies-

[dry copper]

I hated maze runner, tbh

[icy anchor]

I rlly like it- at least the first one

[dry copper]

I just hate the predictability

[icy anchor]

I first wanted to watch it cuz the main character was inteen wolf

[dry copper]

What's the movie about?
Maze Running
What do they do?
Run in a maze
Do they make it?
Probably...or it wouldn't have a sequel.

[icy anchor]

The move “Underwater” is my most favorite movie- however- I predicted the order that people would die at the start and was 100% right

[icy anchor]

Don’t escape the company tho which I think was called WICKED- tbh- dumb name

[icy anchor]

Yes- black guy died first-

[dry copper]

I watched a movie last night that was kind of meh. It wasn't horrible, but it was a little annoying that the entire movie was being carried by two people...Bill Murray and an unknown child actor named Jaeden Martell.

It was called St Vincent. Not a great theatrical release, but a good movie to popcorn on a sunday, to.

[icy anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/joker-jokes-gif-23279403

That’s all I could think of hearing Murray

[dry copper]

[icy anchor]

My second favorite movie is either- Doom from 2005 even tho it’s shit when it comes to the actual game- orrrrr Willys Wonderland- Nickolas cage is the main character and DOSENT SAY A SINGLE WORK THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MOVIE- the movie so sooo bad it’s actually rlly good- it’s meant to be like- a horror thriller but it’s so bad it’s a comedy- it’s surprisingly a good watch

[dry copper]

Bill Murray is an actor that is very difficult to get in a shoot. He has very particular needs and refuses to do scripts he does not personally like.

[dry copper]

If you like Cage, you will probably like "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent"

[icy anchor]

Also- heavily obsessed with this song lately https://youtu.be/ZrO1x18Q3jI?si=TL44twb3oVS66svw watch the music video at ur own risk- it’s- uhm- very kinky- and gay- literally cough the song make my brain go brrrr tho

[dry copper]

It's a comedy where Cage plays as himself

[icy anchor]

I've been playing AC Valhalla for a few days now. My first time playing it, I never left Norway...it was boring. This time I decided to dig my heels in and get passed that starting area. It's a lot better once you get beyond that shit show starting area. I'm in the ragnarok dlc now...spent almost all my time playing it, getting opals so I don't have to spend money to get shit.

Price

$26.99

Release Date

Jun 26, 2025

▶ Play video

[austere lance]

Never played a System Shock, big fan of Bioshock and Prey (which are apparently its spiritual successors?) tho

[mental rose]

System Shock is to games like Deus Ex and Bioshock, what Doom is to FPS's

The big grandpappy

It pretty much started the sub-genre of games where you can approach situations however you want.
Sneak around without firing a shot? We got that.
Go guns blazing? We got that.
Hack everything you find and open a shortcut around threats? We got that.

[coarse swift]

the remake of System Shock 1 is so fucking good

ending was ass at first but they actually took feedback to revamp it

looks nothing like the 2 remaster tho

https://tenor.com/view/systemshock-system-shock-shodan-trioptimum-triop-gif-9620950574548156373

[mental rose]

I still need to complete it on all hard mode, but that 72h timer or smth makes me nervous.

[mental rose]

So playing as a living planet entity is definitely unique way to play Stellaris.
Struggling to produce Biomass tho.

Some of My Oblivion Re screenshots

[mental rose]

Such a gorgeous game, isn't it? 😁

[dreamy zinc]

yes

It runs like shit tho, but I'm running it at 4k on a 4080S (45-70fps depending on where and weather) no DLSS, framegen or upscaling

[mental rose]

I play it at 2k with 3090 and lowest I've gotten is 28fps in the overworld

[dreamy zinc]

oh that's bad

gotta tweak em settings a bit

[mental rose]

But autodetect cranked all the settings to ultra, so I'd have some room to downgrade

[dreamy zinc]

oh same for me

but Ultra is for screenshot

some settings can eb set on medium and you barely notice the diff

had a video of it

[mental rose]

Interesting

[dreamy zinc]

Much obliged

[dreamy zinc]

But following that video should help you a lot

With a 3090 at 2k you should be hitting higher then a 4080S no?

Ew that is a yikes

[tranquil glen]

[dry copper]

Eh. I'm having fun.

I am still in Svartalfeim tho.

I am running around gathering opals.

I found what might be considered an exploit. You start Svartalfeim if boosted, at a level in the hundreds with gear for that area leveled up and all. If however you buy shit from the vendor that sells ubisoft store items in exchange for opals, the items you get are leveled for that area

That means you carry those items back to the main game from the dlc at a higher level than you are.

That is my assumption. I was told you'd get to keep every level you gained, and still get dropped back down for the main game...eventually

The audio of them singing while on the ship is annoying

Its so quiet I can't hear them half the time

The reason they seem so weird appears to be a never fixed audio configuration that has put singing into game effects instead of music

[austere lance]

The audio mixing in the game is ass, it's one of the reasons I hate it

[torpid lynx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmrY_pnnBRQ

so happy these guys have continued working on this game, there's been a huge hole in the 'car combat' genre for awhile now.

only just now learning about this stupid shit
https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/1kb76rm/the_ability_to_play_the_same_game_at_the_same/

wife and I always play games thru the old gameshare, where one console is primary and the other uses a secondary. was a feature with Nintendo, has been a feature with Playstation

Virtual Game Cards did away with that, which is basically the same as having a physical cartridge but you can store more in 1 console and you cant resell

rarely ever use our Switches nowadays so we didnt know about it

@mental rose any luck with the settings for oblivion?

[mental rose]

I already got improvement from dropping preset to high.
Now lemme try your settings and see how those work.

[mental rose]

It seems... marginally better.
I'm getting 35-45fps in Cheydinhal and around 40 in the overworld

For some reason it dips below 30 in Kvatch camp...

Hmh, ngl, the Order armor looks kinda snazzy
Except the helmet... those dragon wings just look silly.

[dreamy zinc]

Well kast thing you can do is resolution scale to 90%

Did that for my 2nd character

My fps is now around 60

[tranquil glen]

Oh no i feel bas for DBD… DBD x AC Shadows

Or in two days?

[dreamy zinc]

Don't know, according to comments for some it worked

It didn't work on my HW either or at least i didn't see or feel any improvements

[reef mountain]

Pretty sure Digital Foundry proved these did nothing

[dreamy zinc]

Like i said idk no gain or loss my system

If people do see perf improvements with it installed what am i to say?

'digital foundry' said you should not have gained 10 or more fps?

It's a matter of trying it and see if it helps or not, the installation/deinstallation takes a few mins at most. But results may vary

I actually like the balance. Try to rebuild and regrow so you get basically positive karma. But you need to eat and farm mats to do so. Negative karma. Go too hard in farming and ruin the world. But you need to in order to rebuild it.

Keanu Reeves kinda sounds drunk half the time, the combat is just "shoot and hack the bullet sponges", and the enemy AI and spawning are on crack so when I leave buildings sometimes a few gang dudes will magically appear in the crowd outside and start shooting everyone. And if I shoot back I get a wanted level, LMAO

The talking brain tumor is drunk, lol?

[pure zinc]

He was an alcoholic

So yes

His ai was comprised of his memories

And most of them

He was intoxicated for

Unaware of the damage he had done, like a true narcissist. Which I think makes his character that much better

Not saying I like him as a character but I do think Keanu did a good job at his portrayal

[astral blade]

I've met tomska a couple of times he is very funny

[dry copper]

It's weird that you called him by his writing pseudonym.

His name is Thomas Ridgewell

[astral blade]

Tomska is smaller and quicker to type

[dry copper]

Ah. I get it. BlagaCC

I want to be called Mumbles irl. Most of the time I just get "Asshole"

[astral blade]

I'm fine with most names just not if you shorten my real name

[coarse swift]

seems this is getting mixed reception?

I havent dug much into Lightyear Frontier

[austere lance]

I haven't played the huge new update, I played a couple hours of the original release tho. I'm much more interested now that they've added survival aspects

Possible day one buy for me, I'm very interested now that I've seen a bit of gameplay
https://youtu.be/J4qY9DYE184?si=aBm_5LAqbwua6iLt

[coarse swift]

idk who that guy is but he doesnt look like a James Bond to me
is it a new guy filling the 007 role?

[mellow dune]

Yea we call him 008

[austere lance]

It's day one Bond, when he was very young. This is basically an origin story

[coarse swift]

I see

age would be what threw me off

[tranquil glen]

the origin of young Bames Jond

[charred badge]

new Hayes video?

[quartz ferry]

I need to see more of the James Bond game rn I feel pretty eh about it

[brittle moth]

Any Steam Deck Users here? Currently playing broforce on mine and rome total war 2 in desktop mode

[shadow tartan]

New 007

[coarse swift]

nate you should be James Bond

You're old enough to fit

[shadow tartan]

Nope

He's more of a prick than me, which is saying something, I couldn't live up to the legend

[tranquil glen]

Fallout NV is the game with the iconic helm and long jacket right?

If so how do you get it, like questing or do u have it or something

[charred badge]

Had both since launch

I need to get back on NMS, missed a bunch because my old PS4 died (repaired it) and I had missed an Expedition

And because I like to complete everything it pissed me off

[hardy hound]

Well maybe we should play helldivers some day

[shadow tartan]

Hell yeah, I'll be on a little later

I'll DM you my friend code

Lol

[manic kite]

Just use tape ffr

[coarse swift]

Its 1 location, a Staten Island NY Gamestop

but of course articles are gonna clickbait

not hundreds of Switch 2s either, just around a hundred

istg

big bonehead behavior from that gamestop, someone will get fired and gamestop will have to compensate the customers

[shadow tartan]

Pay peanuts get monkeys

They shouldn't get fired for that

Hard enough as it is

[coarse swift]

is an expensive fuckup tho

I wouldn't be surprised

[shadow tartan]

Yeah it is but electronics get replaced all the time

Privileged people buying things and some poor fucker gets fired over a mistake and ends up struggling

It's just sad

Warning or something sure

[coarse swift]

I dont get why the thought didnt come across that you can just hand them the receipt like a normal person

[shadow tartan]

Maybe their previous experience was in retail or hospitality where they got used to stapling receipts

It's not that expensive a mistake in the grand scheme

Few hundred bucks

We've all seen way worse

Seen some in the tens of millions

[barren sparrow]

One electronics store I went to staples your receipt to a small pamphlet so it's harder to lose

like with shops contact info and some things about warranties

stapling receipts to boxes doesn't sound like decision some worker would make, I would bet some manager told them to do it if it ended up being the case to over a hundred Switch 2's

also on Nintendo for packaging it in a way where a thing so short as a staple can so easily damage the product inside

[noble merlin]

@echo hill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCojR9P9JrY

[austere lance]

Yeah that's wild

No protective foam or anything protecting the screen is nuts

[shadow tartan]

If you press down on a box with a stapler even with protective foam it might pierce something

It's why they have signs saying don't cut open etc

Same as mobile phones

You'd have to unseal the box so that you can staple it to the box that way

Otherwise you're opening up a stapler and pressing down

It's dumb

[barren sparrow]

ok

I can see how it happned

screen is literally under lid of the box facing up

man

the side parts are deeper in the box, but screen is just under the surface

genius design

[shadow tartan]

Made it all the way from another country just fine

Gets to America

At least it wasn't an unarmed teenager

[barren sparrow]

Those were preorder Switch 2's right? I can see them printing receipts beforehand and stapling them to the boxes

[shadow tartan]

My old repair job was for one of the UK's biggest electronics retailers, we used stickers or tape to stick things to boxes

Over 20 years ago

The fact that some morons at GameStop in 2025 didn't think about damaging a box and affecting the item or resell value is beyond me

It's like Pokémon card grading sometimes

[quaint escarp]

the issue was that the screen was right against the part that was stapled

[barren sparrow]

Meh, a staple you can pretty easily remove and which leaves 2 pretty small holes doesn't seem like that big of a deal

Definitely not something retail is going to bother themselves about

Yeah, screen is right under a thin layer of cardboard

A small pin would damage is

Bumping against something hard could damage it too

[quaint escarp]

so having a staple right against a glass screen wouldnt be nice for someone dropping $500

gamestop will prob fire the guy responsible

[shadow tartan]

When you have a Nintendo/retro collection like mine it does, box quality and stuff come into it.
Even with newer stuff.
I have boxed NES and SNES games worth silly amounts now.

That's part of the reason why people still buy physical too

[shadow tartan]

Made it across oceans or skies from Asia

[barren sparrow]

I don't think they will fire the guy, if you staple recepts where joysticks are it would be fine.

But to know that you would have to open the box and if you did that you would also know how close to the cardboard the screen is.

Not saying the guy isn't at fault, but Nintendo designing packaging in this way didn't exactly help

[barren sparrow]

Yeah, large amounts of boxed together

Then you put it in hands of people on the ground, mostly underpaid workers

Accidents happen too

It's important to package things well just in case

Were the screen a bit deeper in the box nothing would have happen

[quaint escarp]

theres literally tape

they couldve taped it

gamestop has been making deep cuts so firing one guy wont be surprising

[vital girder]

sigh

[obtuse reef]

...guess I'm not getting that quasar cannon

[shadow tartan]

Undemocratic

[obtuse reef]

The tree or me?

[vital girder]

screw my xcom 2 game... i tried hunting a chosen, got ambush as result and now i gotta get them to evac... BUT THERES EVERYWHERE

[mental rose]

The Chosen are basically minibosses.
You DO NOT mess with them, unless you're sure you can handle it.

[vital girder]

nah its the hunt the chosen covert stuff

[mental rose]

The one with the sniper rifle (forgot his name) was the most annoying one for me.

Even if it's been ages since I last played

[vital girder]

its damm mutons... like and stuff

(result of ambush)

let me tell ya tho.. some of the TLP music is absolutely fire

[pure zinc]

Anyone else play ? ^^

[shadow tartan]

The tree ofc

It must be felled in the name of democracy

[mental rose]

Oh, I LOVED Xcom 2 story.

[shadow tartan]

The damn thing caught a hellpod, not sure anything short of a planetary glassing will cut it down

So important note:

tl;dr: the game is spyware and you can be banned for modding it

how tf do you fumble a 14 year old game like that

by comparison

Not sure what to believe tbh

Uhm, my borderlands has been modded for like ever and I still haven’t been banned. I openly cheat in it.

Tbf it’s the only reason I go back to even play bl2 anymore is cuz of the diff mods

thats like saying how well does a psychic and swordman have against another stronger psychic and swordsman....

then again the weaker has a beam of light that can melt anything but other beams

no dont bring in mandolorian metal

[winter yew]

I wasn't but since you did 😉

[tranquil glen]

Im prefacing that before anyone does cause if its a 1v1 bro has shields, and other bro can force yeet

[worn jacinth]

I thought you didn't like AAA :p

[feral ginkgo]

Pov: a soviet unicorn eaten too many sugar!

[shadow tartan]

Same, got my Destiny t-shirt from E3

[split ridge]

E3 is epic

[worn jacinth]

Was

[split ridge]

true 😭

[feral ginkgo]

✌️ GG for the good memories!

😢

[shadow tartan]

Can still make good memories

[feral ginkgo]

Not with E3

[shadow tartan]

We're still lucky to have so many games available to us

[shadow tartan]

It was bound to happen

Nothing lasts forever

There's a bunch of other good events though

It's not just the stuff run by Game Awards

And it's open for people to attend

[split ridge]

Anyone else remember lan parties

[shadow tartan]

Dude I was thinking about that today

[feral ginkgo]

Ah good old Diablo 2, those were the good old days!

[shadow tartan]

I used to cart my beast around all the time to LAN parties

And my huge monitor

24 inch Sony badboy monitor

I had to provide the switch too

24 ports

[shadow tartan]

When things were square...

@split ridge remember sharing games over the network so your mates could play?

And using the same key to install them

[split ridge]

yes that was epic lmao

halo lan parties were fun

[shadow tartan]

We had a couple of those when we had XBOXs in our flat

After Halo 2 was released we managed to fit 16 people in there

Outrun 2 over LAN was peak too

[feral ginkgo]

I want black ops 2 servers to lit up worldwide again!😫

[shadow tartan]

They should let them be hosted by people after they die

Unfortunately that takes decades

[split ridge]

with halo CE, after gamespy died people managed to make their own servers.

[shadow tartan]

GameSpy

Oh brutha

That shit was vital back then

Critical to sweaty operations

[split ridge]

they shut down in 2014 if I recall correctly.

[shadow tartan]

Yeah man ages ago

[split ridge]

I hate saying that 2014 was 11 years ago.

[shadow tartan]

Dude

2004 was 21 years ago

[split ridge]

And that is older than most of the people on discord lol

[fathom sluice]

It's closer to 2050 than 2000 rn

As of a few days ago

[split ridge]

Oof

[fathom sluice]

I was born in 2009 so it's not very weird to me

[shadow tartan]

Back in the 90s when I would talk to people on the internet I was the kiddo though

Someone has to pick up the torch when we're all gone

[austere lance]

My back already hurts, you didn't have to say this 💀

[shadow tartan]

@austere lance F U Ducky you still look 15 at least
My beard is grey af right now

[austere lance]

[quartz ferry]

I can believe it I was born in 2004

[shadow tartan]

1983 but people act like it was 1683

[quartz ferry]

to be fair I would have killed to be alive in the 80s for just like cool technology shit and movies

[shadow tartan]

It really wasn't as cool as people think it was

Plus the recession was bad

[quartz ferry]

Im aware I just really like the stuff that came out in the 80s

[shadow tartan]

There was some charm but it was very beige

[quartz ferry]

thats why I named only those two things and not everything else 😂

[shadow tartan]

I've shared some pics of old hardware from the 70s and 80s here and off topic

[tranquil glen]

That moment when aside from physical family and friends, you dont take advice or care for anything from people with 19~ as their birth year

[shadow tartan]

@split ridge

Someone gave me their old OnePlus 2 and I thought fuck it let's overclock this badboy

It was heating up a bit

[shadow tartan]

Did somebody hurt your feelings?

[tranquil glen]

All these memes about telling people whos birthyear start with 20~

[shadow tartan]

Didn't see

[tranquil glen]

I see it often just not everywhere
I said that in random

In random here

[shadow tartan]

@split ridge I'm gonna try and get some people to LAN

An old mate from school reminded me about how we used to do it at my house

So when I buy my next place I think I should have a housewarming LAN party

Get the nerds back together

[tranquil glen]

🤓

[split ridge]

I got a friend who still does lan parties. He has a shit load of xbox 360s and some GameCubes. For someone's birthday, he brought them over and had a lan birthday party 😂

[split ridge]

LOL

[shadow tartan]

Dude I remember at one I was probably 17 or something, I got so drunk and went under the table and bit my friend on the leg because he was being a dick

Then we ordered a few buckets of KFC

Those were the times

[coarse swift]

what happens when's gotta pee

[winter yew]

Ignore the review bombing Randy made the critical mistake of saying that's what games cost now buy it if you like it

[austere lance]

Borderlands 2 is always a good time, lol

[winter yew]

I prefer 3 but I also beat 2 on the vita so that should tell ya I like it quite a bit too lol

[dry copper]

I might have a problem. I've been playing valhalla for over 70 hours now...I'm at level 408. The whole game at this point is just a power trip finding creative ways to murder strangers

enemies will see me brutalize their friend and run away lol

I wish there were more fatality types tho tbh

[winter yew]

Valhalla was fun awhile I even bought some armor to go with Excalibur from the shop

[coarse swift]

not related

the review bombing is for a recent ToS update

however after I looked into it a bit, you can still ignore

https://steamcommunity.com/app/49520/discussions/0/598528766295202095/

[austere lance]

I don't wanna be at work for two more hours, I wanna be home playing Cyberpunk

[winter yew]

It is related the reviewing bombing started after Randy's statement then it got worse after the tos situation I watched it in real time in a live stream lol

Welcome to the internet moment

[coarse swift]

That statement happened a long while ago

[winter yew]

Switch 2 version or just happen to be playing cyberpunk

[winter yew]

Correct I said it got worse after not thr tos situation started immediately after

[winter yew]

Why are you picking the most random hill to disagree and die on lol

[coarse swift]

I'm not disagreeing?

what are you on about

[austere lance]

First time playing it for more than two hours, lol. I tried the free trial whenever that was and it ran like crap+it was buggy and a bit too convoluted for my taste, I bought a used copy for cheap like two years ago and it still had the same problems so I dropped it, and I decided to give it another go like a week ago and it's finally solid to the point where I can enjoy it 😆

[winter yew]

Ah just the timing aligned with switch release then yeah it's pretty good

[austere lance]

Runs very nicely now and they smoothed out a bunch of QOL issues I had, and it's mostly bug free

It's still missing some things I'd love to see (different stealth takedown animations for each melee weapon) but I'm enjoying it

[winter yew]

It's getting a final update also wotchef 3 is too

Witcher

So maybe it'll add that

[austere lance]

I saw, I'm on console so I'm VERY excited for Witcher 3 mods

[winter yew]

Witcher 3 mods are awesome alot of the time it isn't as crazy as skyrim modding tho

[austere lance]

If the next Cyberpunk update finally adds the stealth animations I want and NG+ I'll be playing it for a while

[austere lance]

Yeah I'll just do ones that fix gear leveling

I hated finding a really cool Relic sword only for it to be outclassed by random crap 20 minutes later 😆

[winter yew]

The last update added a bunch of mods too like quick cast and stuff, it even got a switch release

It bugged storm sounds for awhile tho was kinda awful

I was typing somthing else about a game that's trying to bring console Mods to switch 2 but I just realized that might break the agreement I signed lol

Gamestop and presumably eb games buying back switch 2s for a week lol
Almost posted this in memes

almost

[chilly scaffold]

I'm late but borderlands 3 my favorite
All the locations, the animations, Amara being a actual siren gameplay wise not just trust me bro it's the lore wise, 4 different powers you can swap between

The handheld tablet is better and better animated

Even the plot gets more relevant everyday with streamers and youtubers making outlandish fools of themselfs

[winter yew]

Trust me bro it's lore wise is the perfect way to describe it

Maya and lilith are omega powerful sirens lore and story wise, but gameplay wise Amara quite better

[austere lance]

Too bad I can't stand Troy as a villain 💀

Honestly I liked his sister way more

3 has my beloved Fl4k tho 😌

I'm kinda excited for BL4, now that's a badass way to do a new Siren

[chilly scaffold]

I've been staying mostly spoiler free but the heros of b4 look badass

[austere lance]

The gameplay looks stellar in general, Randy Bitchford needs to stfu about $80 pricing tho and we really need a good villain

[austere lance]

They showed like 16 minutes of Siren gameplay recently and holy shit I think I'm in love, it's such a cool way to do a new Siren 😫💦

[chilly scaffold]

He's just going with the current game pricing not setting a new price like nintendo to be fair

[austere lance]

Yet $50 games like Expedition 33 are the ones getting the most love, lol. There's a very very high chance it's gonna sweep awards season

[chilly scaffold]

True people are more inclined to buy a cheaper game then spread word of mouth about it
It's a conundrum where two things can be true at once for sure

We're in a discord for a game that's always full price and always on sale right at this moment aha

[chilly scaffold]

Do you guys like the presequel too btw

Very artistic and highly epileptic level that I found ! 🆗

[dry copper]

I love how they respond to criticism of the privacy policy by saying "Read more about this in the privacy policy"

It's almost as if they're tone deaf.

Take-Two does not use spyware in its games. It uses spyware Privacy Policy in its games.

For more information, Privacy Policy.

Take-Two Interactive can go privacy policy themselves.

[coarse swift]

get rid of Ava as a plot device and it's not bad

[coarse swift]

Has BL2 even had an actual update in years? I figure any sorta kernel rootkit being added to the game that the ToS would acknowledge would've been a sizable file

[dry copper]

I doubt anyone cares about the fact it exists. It's the invasive nature of the changes to their EULA which changes the scope of their data collection policies I suspect people take issue with. Take Two now has a history of attacking the modding community after they took down OpenIV and any level of exposure that threatens that community is going to get backlash.

Modders are most of the reason Take Two games have any longevity.
